The County Attorney's office wants to try a 14-year-old boy, accused of abusing his infant son, as an adult. 14-year-old boy is facing several child abuse charges.
According to court records, 14-year-old boy told authorities he shook the 7-week-old baby and struck the baby's head on a car seat handle, causing two skull fractures.
The infant had been at his maternal grandmother's home, where his 14-year-old mother lives. Local police said the baby boy was at home with his mom and dad when he reportedly became unresponsive.
Police said medical treatment revealed the boy had sustained non-accidental old and new fractures. Detectives learned that the baby was in the immediate care of his father, while his mother was tending to household tasks. Both parents denied knowing about previous injuries, but police say an extensive investigation revealed that his dad had caused them.
14-year-old boy has been charged with five counts of child abuse. There is no word on the condition of the baby. Relatives say the baby will be placed in a foster home upon release from the hospital.

I can't believe that this happened. But it did. This baby's parents are both 14-years-old. Where the heck were the parents of the two 14-year-olds when this happened? Where? And why is the baby going to be placed in foster care rather than being taken care of by family? The comment was given by relatives so I don't see why they care take care of the baby. [shaking head] This kind of thing really confuses me. Why do people have babies when they obviously can't take care of them? PROVIDE a safe place for them? Give the babies a good life? Make decisions for their baby instead of thinking only of themselvs? Makes me confused...totally confused.
